  • Title: [Marginality and infant mortality].
    Author: Jimenez Ornelas R.
    Journal: Rev Mex Sociol; 1988; 50(4):171-85. PubMed ID: 12342703.
    Abstract:
    This study is concerned with differentials in infant and child mortality among low-income urban groups in Mexico. Mortality differentials within and among marginal socioeconomic groups in suburbs of Mexico City and Leon are analyzed and compared using data collected in interviews in 1980 and 1983. The results indicate that the health benefits associated with modernization, such as improved sanitation, can sometimes be offset by their negative impact on mortality, such as industrial accidents and environmental pollution.
